: Last spring Sam McFadden, one of the reads of the BBS offered to do some
: strength testing of strip-built panels. Sam is a grad student at UC Davis.
: He recently sent me the data from the testing. I'm still digesting the
: data, but I figured I would put it up for others to check out as well.

: I can make the raw data files available for people who want it.
